Kylie Geist, RN, and Ann Arnold, RN, were recognized as HaysMed DAISY Award winners.

Geist works on the acute care unit, and Arnold works in the special nurse services unit.

Geist and Arnold were selected from a group of blinded nominations voted on by the HaysMed Practice Committee. The Practice Committee consists of staff and supervisors from a variety of departments across HaysMed. Nominations are received from patients and family members, physicians, volunteers and associates for nurses in inpatient, outpatient and clinic settings.

“Their nominations epitomize teamwork, leadership and customer service,” said Terry Siek, vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at HaysMed. “We are so fortunate to have nurses of (their) caliber and dedication working at HaysMed.”

The DAISY Award is a nationwide program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses every day. HaysMed is proud to be a DAISY Award Hospital Partner, recognizing one of our nurses with this special honor every quarter.
